May Pet of the Month

"Tank"

Tank is a wonderful and handsome Rottweiler puppy belonging to the Modica family of Old Bridge, NJ.  He was a gift from Mr. Modica to Mrs. to help ease the heartbreak following the loss of their beloved Brutus in January, 2011.  Tank came from a breeder in Toms River, NJ and he came as a complete surprise to Mrs. Modica.  He was just 10-weeks old.  He has quickly adapted to the Modica family including Onyx, age 7, Tank’s new big brother.  Tank has been a real blessing to the family, according to Mrs. Modica.

Tank is on Pro Plan as his main diet and he enjoys pig ears as his favorite treat.  He has lots of toys of all kinds, especially stuffed animals.  One, a stuffed duck, he carries all around the house.  He can often be seen playing with his big brother, Onyx.  They both frequently play together with a pull-rope toy.  When asked what Tank’s favorite activity is, Mrs. Modica replied:  “he just loves playing with Onyx, and sometimes won’t let him alone!”

Tank also loves to be part of the family activities.  He enjoys playing in the yard, sometimes with a ball but other games as well.  He has tons of energy!

Mrs. Modica says she just adores him and Onyx so much.  Tank has the cutest look (as we all can see from the picture).  He sleeps in his crate at night.  He feels comfortable there.  Mrs. Said she’d probably let him on furniture and the bed, but Mr. Would rather not allow that.

We at AMERICAN ANIMAL HOSPITAL are excited to celebrate Tank Modica as our Pet Of The Month for May, 2011!  Congratulations, Tank, you are a winning puppy indeed!
